Models by Jorzi (AR)

You can just transform and use this:

Or cnсeo's CC texture.

... they do provide some nice details, but unfortunately pulling off fake lighting with an otherwise dynamically lit texture can also look a bit bad, so I took the easy way out...

True. Better to leave this for some point in the future when there is a proper solution for animation and stuff.

Awesome models dude. It's... it's over 9000! No, really!

[Jorzi]

Thanks chobibo
Small update: With some cutting & modification, I made an assault cannon model based on the twin assault cannon.

[Pavel]

Cool, as always!

I might be wrong, but the AC should also have a laser designator on the "wing", along with the case ejector.
And model the rear hatch as a proper hatch (i.e. like my Avenger's hatch).
Other than that, it's a masterpiece.

Thanks guys
I'll add more details soon
Meanwhile, some concept work on the cyborgs, which imo look like random pixelblobs on legs atm.
The lowpoly is currently 404 triangles.

Now the legs are among the primary reasons why tangent space normal mapping would be desirable. However, if I make them hipoly enough not to need a normal map it might be a nice compromise for the time being, and the torsos and weapons can use object space maps.

I'm getting a sort of Doom Guy vibe from the hi-poly torso/head pic.
If you need more details for the cyborgs, check out some of the ingame FMV's.

What other FMV besides the "Cam1a_c" sequence might you be thinking of ? (Which, btw, the same art is used for the WZ comic book, with better detail than the FMV - but not by much.)

Just for frame of ref purposes, here is page 6 from the comic and Pumpkin's original page 14 textures... with 2 cyborg designs.... both different from the comic which is the same as the FMV.... total of 3 different designs.

The models are very good, as always However the proportions of the original models are really weird. I would love to see something a bit different. I'm thinking of some warhammer units like those: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/im ... ptor24.jpg

I really like that design, but I think it works better for the heavier super cyborgs, while the lighter cyborgs should be able to turn their heads and be more human-like imo. I specifically made the new design a bit taller and a bit narrower.

[Jorzi]

Ripple rockets lowpoly, 122 triangles. I did sharpen the missile tips, but I don't know if it shows.

I can definitely make out the missile nipples. I dare say, they make a point of leaving a favorable impression.

A bit of an update

Pretty much finished, except for the tcmask and exporting.

[Colditz]

Thanks for your suggestions, I think this one looks suitably hi-tech

Looking at the screenshots, does this means the Engine support Normal maps now?

Would be a reason to return.
